Latina Project Thank You
The Latina Project, an outreach by the women of Holy
Martyrs and our sister parish, La Sagrada Familia,
provides a meal once a month during a support
meeting for women who are survivors of domestic
violence.
The turnout for the December Latina Project meal was
wonderful. There were plenty of food bags for the
women and they were so thrilled with those and the
bag of gifts.
Many hugs and thank you’s from the women to all
who contributed to make this possible.
There will be no meals prepared for January and
February as there is Martin Luther King Day in January
and Presidents’ Day in February. The monthly Latina
Project meals will resume in March.

Eucharist Retreat Coming in January
Our second graders and their parents will attend a
Eucharist Retreat together in late January. This retreat
is an opportunity for parents to come away from their
busy lives and share one on one with their children
the origin of the Eucharist and why it needs to be part
of our weekly spiritual growth.
We need to put on the armor of the Eucharist to get
through the week’s temptations, anxiety, stress and
disappointments. Jesus broke bread throughout his
three years of ministry, and this emphasizes why we
need to share the Eucharist and our everyday stories
of which Jesus is a part.
Protecting God’s Children
For three weeks every January, our HMKids
students in grades 1-6 learn skills that help them
protect themselves from child molesters. Children
are taught how to recognize boundary violations
that precede abuse, remove themselves from
uncomfortable situations and tell a trusted adult
when someone has crossed a boundary.
Praesidium developed a curriculum with age-
appropriate lessons for each grade level.
The Diocese of Cleveland requires that these
skills be taught every year to children in grades
1-8. SPIRIT students (grades 7 and 8) will receive
this training in January as well.
This training for children is the “other arm of
Virtus”, which educates adults about what to
watch for when they see adults interacting
with children.
"We are the people of the Eucharist. Always
remember who you are."
— Allen Hunt, The Turning Point
A Note to Parents
If your child needs to leave the worship area during
Mass, please escort him or her. We want your
children to be safe. On weekends, think of your
church as you would any public place where you
would keep track of where your child is and who he
or she is around.
Please Bring in Last Year's Palms
Please bring in your palms from last year's Palm
Sunday in January and February. We will be
teaching HMKids students how we burn last year's
palms for ashes to use on Ash Wednesday. There
will be receptacles at all the doors of the church
for you to place the palms in upon arrival. Palms
are needed by Feb. 23.
Serve With A Heart Like Jesus
Opportunities to serve will continue throughout
2020. Please consider how you can contribute. Many
hands make light work.
Here are some examples of ways students can serve:
Serving on Donut Sundays
Babysitting on Tuesdays during Following Christ
Baking items for the April Bake Sale
Throughout the Diocese
“If you seek me you will find me,” says the Lord, “when you seek me with all your heart.”
